The Department continues to recruit talent from across the civil service, the wider public sector and the private sector. The Department for Exiting the European Union has over 700 staff working with other government departments on all aspects of EU Exit work. There is no specific division between the various aspects of EU Exit work as there is necessary overlap to support all the objectives of the Department.<\/p>

DExEU is located across a number of buildings run by other government departments. We are not therefore responsible for the provision of energy to our buildings, or the tracking of the amount of energy used. DExEU continues to work with the Government Property Agency on the management of these arrangements, and in doing so ensuring that we play our part in working to the Government Greening Commitments.<\/p>

The Government has always been clear that the best way to protect citizens\u2019 rights is to secure a deal with the EU.<\/p>
In the event of no deal, the UK has made a unilateral offer to protect the rights of EU citizens residing in the UK by exit day, and this includes continued entitlement to healthcare. Where possible, we have also made unilateral commitments to protect the rights of UK nationals living in the EU.<\/p>
We welcome that all Member States have now put in place measures to protect the residency rights of UK nationals living in the EU by exit day but there are still areas where we hope that Member States will improve their offers to UK nationals, in line with what we have offered. We will continue to press for reciprocity and ask Member States to communicate their detailed plans as soon as possible.<\/p>
Reciprocal healthcare arrangements cannot be fully protected unilaterally by the UK. That is why we are seeking arrangements at EU level or with Member States to apply the current social security coordination framework, including reciprocal healthcare, in full until the end of 2020.<\/p>
To support UK-insured individuals living in the EU before exit day, the UK Government will also, for six-months after exit day (from 1 November 2019 until 30 April 2020), reimburse healthcare costs or pay providers directly where necessary.<\/p>

Local government plays a vital role in preparing the country to be fully ready for Brexit on 31 October.<\/p>
We have stepped up our preparedness significantly and speak regularly to councils and partners, including through the Local Government Brexit Delivery Board and a network of nine regional chief executives. The Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government leads this engagement.<\/p>
Every council has designated a Brexit Lead Officer to work with central government to intensify their local preparations and, in total, we have made £77 million available to help local areas get ready for Brexit.<\/p>
